Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

You might be right, I just noticed that it started happening at the time CloudFlare was introduced. It was never so slow that you would read a post without even knowing there was an image missing before. Also, I'd never seen the 'Invalid Proxy' message displayed when there is a link to a valid image. Whatever it is the post hasn't been changed and the images haven't been moved so it is something about the forum that is preventing them being displayed.

Sometimes, when loading a third-party image, this picture is displayed.



If you refresh the page several times, the normal image is loaded.

Yes, that is what I said. I don't remember encountering this problem before the switch to CloudFlare. That doesn't mean it is related and it could be a coincidence. The real point is it happens a lot at the moment and it needs fixing.

Could be due to browser updates too, I'm having similar issues

I'm not aware that there is a limitation in posting and characters for those who have low ranks. This thread helps me a lot, Now i know the number of post to make my rank up.

This problem was long before the switch to CloudFlare. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2119569.msg24652414#msg24652414

I don't think that's the same issue from reading the responses. That was fixed by refresh browser or clearing cookies. Also, there was no mention of the slow loading that I have only experienced since CloudFlare. I have just tried loading the OP to this thread on another browser and I get exactly the same issue. I'm sorry if that doesn't convince you but I'm sure there's something wrong here that needs fixing.

[SingularityDivided]

thanks for the detailed explanation, now it is more clear to me. I am new to bitcointalk, seems there is lot to learn.

[dkbit98]

great explanation.

Where can we check how much we have for reaching next level member ?

[InvoKing]

great explanation.

If you plan to rank up, you have to learn what's merit means first.
Hint : Once you will get 10 merit you will become a member.
Search in the meta now for the rest.

Yup, back on the last page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.msg32964177#msg32964177

There's some discussion about whether I'm right or wrong after that post.

[Huan00087]

Over here its just started today, when this discussion started its still working correctly over here, probably that is why people questioning whether it is true or not

Yes, it is but frowned upon by the community:

18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.

Take note: Most likely, you'll end up with one of the following scenarios:

1. Seller scams you.
2. Receive a negative rating for purchasing one.
3. Being banned (based on your short post history, there's a high chance [unless you learn to follow the rules]):
    - What's the point in posting twice (6 minutes apart) in a single thread, without adding any value?

good

Thanks so much for explaining!
I now finally understand what's going on!
